Understand DSBrowser™ - Right to anonymity

When you walk in the street, you do not have to show your identity, say what you are doing, what you want, where you live and you do not have to look at every advertisement on your journey.

When you pay with a credit card in a shop, you do not have to describe your tastes to the sales person.
The right to anonymity on the web allows you to browse freely and avoid any person trying to use your identity or related information.
DSBrowser™ allows you to be anonymous on the web. You can:

- Download software you have purchased without giving out information about yourself.

- Watch a video without saying who you are.

- Use any application online without letting the web site gather your behavioral information.

- Decide which advertising can appear on your screen.

The respect of the right to anonymity stops at the border of Blacknet / Deep Web, from there on, content may be illegal. DS Browser™ can relay any information to the authorities that they require in a judicial case.

Understand DSBrowser™ - DSBrowser™ navigator

DSBrowser™, spearhead of our offer, has been created to block the approach of any undesirable software. The DSBrowser™ navigator receives all the latest updates directly and exclusively from the DSBrowser™ servers. It is the only entry point to your DSBrowser™ Cloud. Between your navigator and your Cloud, between your navigator and our servers, every exchange of data takes place in a secured tunnel. You can browse in a protected bubble and do it in a “look and feel” which is unique, elegant and relaxing. It’s the end of all characterless browsers.

Free internet browsers

Internet browsers are the weak link when it comes to confidentiality on the web. Did you know that? The value of a search for the main search engines is the gathering of qualified information on the user, their tastes, their connections etc. It is through the browser that this gathering is done, without you knowing. The enemy is already within!

If it’s free on the internet

Free browsers, free search engines, free applications … the “free” approach is everywhere on the internet. Free of charge is presented as being beneficial to the user, but it would be naïve to think that so many advantages meant nothing in return! Free does not rhyme with selflessness. The systematic gathering of browser data, when it is not input data, allows, after selling to e-commerce agents, behaviorial targeting and personalised marketing. It is the bartering of your personal data, which is an invasion of your private life.

Browser infection

Abnormally long times to download pages, multiple openings of websites which have nothing to do with your search, useless toolbars and plug-ins, inconvenient popping-up of advertising… the diagnosis is simple: your internet browser is “infected”! Anti-virus software, blogs and forums offer you different ways to clean your browser… we prefer to go to the root of the problem. The DSBrowser™ navigator has been created to block any approaches from undesirable software. And we have no commercial reasons to accept them as we refuse to sell on any of your browsing data. Do the test on an “infected” computer where browsing is a nightmare: plug in your DSBrowser™ USB device (key, hard drive or flash memory) and connect: you will rediscover normal browsing speeds and will be rid of most of the unwanted things that spoil your life. There’s no need to buy a new computer to go on the web.

Understand DSBrowser™ - Anonymous and Invisible

Secure Tunnel

The communication between your DSBrowser™ and your Cloud on our servers is encrypted with the TLS v1.2 Protocole and a RSA AES 256 Bit algorithm integrated into the DSBrowser™. The security certificate is validated at every launching of the browser. All the data exchanged with your Cloud space will, as a result, be inaccessible and undecipherable by a third party.

While you browse, you can choose to hide your IP address, as it will be one of our servers’ IP addresses which appears, thus preventing any of the sites you visit from retracing the link to your computer, and so identify the websites you have visited during your browsing session.

Secure webmail

A webmail allows you gain access to your messaging service from an internet browsing service, without having to go through the existing software on your computer (Gmail messaging, Hotmail, Yahoo mail etc…). With our integrated system, your webmail will travel exclusively through the secure tunnel between your DSBrowser™ navigator and our servers.

Thanks to VPN, your data is encrypted.

Thanks to VPN, datas are encrypted.

Secure and anonymous streaming

No matter which site you visit to stream your videos, the confidentiality of your browsing is systematically assured by using the secured tunnel of your DSBrowser™ and our servers. You can increase it by activating the anonymous browser options: IP address masking, browser masking, secure erase of your data.

Thanks to VPN, your data is encrypted.

Thanks to VPN, datas are encrypted.

VPN – Virtual Private Network

The DSBrowser™ VPN puts in place an encrypted tunnel for every internet connection – and any internet-based software (surf, email, VoIP, P2P, games…) - from your computer, so that all data exchange while using DSBrowser VPN™ is anonymous and undecipherable. The tunnel includes the authentication with its DSBrowser™ certificate and use of the TLS v1.2 and AES 256 algorithm for an encryption of data.

Understand DSBrowser™ - Browser masking

To take your anonymity further, you can choose to hide your DSBrowser™ identity from any of the websites you visit. However, certain sites only work with specific browsers and will refuse the connection when you approach them as a DSBrowser™ or an unknown browser. To resolve this problem without losing your anonymity, DSBrowser™ allows you to browse using the identity of another browser, which you can choose from a list of some of the leading browsers.

Understand DSBrowser™ - Blocking advertising

When you activate the advertising blocking option, tens of thousands of links will be analysed before displaying the desired web page in order to delete as many advertising as possible. This will result in a much more relaxed visual experience.

Our servers are configured to treat a massive number of actions. The blocking lists are updated daily.

Understand DSBrowser™ - Secure erase

What happens if you do not delete the live memory from your computer. The content of live memory is not deleted even if the memory component is taken from the motherboard, especially at low temperature. The fraudulent recovery of your data in the live memory, especially that of USB devices (key, hard drive, flash memory), is possible even when the user session is locked or when the computer is in sleep mode.

When you carry out any action with DSBrowser™ , you will be able to securely erase all your browsing data in your live memory as soon as you finish your session.
Your browsing window will close and all the displayed data will disappear, for example, as soon as you disconnect the USB device (USB key, external hard drive, flash memory).
You can activate the secure erase on your Dashboard tab. You can also carry out immediate secure erase while you browse in the Surf tab.

Understand DSBrowser™ - Connection logs

When you browse through the internet each click on a link gives an order to the server of the website you are visiting. These orders are sent to a connection journal also called a “log file”. When you browse anonymously using DSBrowser™, the logs resulting from your clicks are not sent to the websites you are visiting, but to the DSBrowser™ servers, which will manage the logs as they arrive. The requests transmitted from the DSBrowser™ servers to the sites you have visited will prevent them from identifying you directly.

Understand DSBrowser™ - Secure nomadicity with a USB key

Download DSBrowser™ on a USB device and enjoy secure nomadicity. You can surf anywhere in complete security:

- You can launch DSBrowser™ on any computer (hotel, cyber-café etc...) thanks to the USB key.

- No default registering on the hard drive, no history, there isn’t a single trace of your browsing left on the computer you are using with the DSBrowser™.

- Your favourite websites, logins and passwords are all kept safely on your secure Cloud in order to avoid any viruses, phishing, or loss of data. You can even consult websites directly from your Cloud. A unique DSBrowser™ option.

- All your sensitive or confidential data can be stored and archived on the Cloud. None of our data storage servers are under American legislation.

If you have installed DSBrowser™ on a USB device for a nomadic use, we recommend you activate it as your Double Level Authentication device.

Understand DSBrowser™ - The DSBrowser™ Intelligent Cloud

DSBrowser™ has developed an expert technology for the transfer of data from a computer to the Cloud. Every transfer is encrypted in order to guarantee secure exchanges. The packets are controlled and validated before integration.

Synchronisation is indispensable when you share the access to certain documents in your Cloud with other DSBrowser™ users (e.g. in a company or family). Each time a document which is stored on the DSBrowser ™ Cloud is modified by a user, it is automatically updated for each user with access authorisation. Each modification is time-stamped.

Understand DSBrowser™ - Our infrastructures – Location of our servers

All our data-storage servers are under European Legislation, none are located in the United States. In order to enhance the privacy of your connections, our Proxies and VPN servers are located in several countries across the world, among which the United States.

We pledge to do everything possible to guarantee the permanence, continuity and quality of our services, which are available 24hrs a day, 7 days a week. However, it is possible that, exceptionally and for a very short time, we have to suspend access to our servers either for maintenance or improvement purposes.

You can consult the status of our services directly on the Dashboard tab, by clicking on the icon “Server status” on the drop down menu.

The availability of our network is measured at 99.9%. DSBrowser™ has a bandwidth of 500Mbps minimum up to 3Gbps.

DSBrowser™ has a team of engineers in its data center 24hrs a day, every day of the year. A monitoring system (ICMP) constantly looks over the servers. If an incident is detected we can intervene immediately.

Packages – How does it work? What happens when my package has expired?

Your package is activated the moment your payment for AGILE package has been accepted and, for the FREE package, as soon as you register.

Each package gives you the right to a certain bandwidth capacity for Anonymous and Invisible browsing expressed in giga-bytes or Gb and to a storage capacity on your secure Cloud, expressed in giga-octets or Go.

When your package has expired:

- You may keep all your files and documents as well as the functions that your package gives you access to, for as long as you like;

Packages – Discover DSBrowser™ with DSBrowser™ FREE

With the FREE package you can try out DSBrowser™ Anonymous and Invisible browsing free of charge for 3 months, with 1 Gb of bandwidth per month. As soon as you have used 1Gb of bandwidth in a month you will no longer have access to the control of Anonymous and Invisible browsing.

With DSBrowser™ FREE you will also have your own personal Cloud onto which you can store limitless internet links and URL addresses. However, the FREE package Cloud does not provide all types of storage. You can only store your internet links but not your documents, images, videos or sound files. You can however have access to the files and documents that other DSBrowser™ users have decided to share with you in a secure manner.

After 3 months, if you wish to continue taking advantage of Anonymous and Invisible browsing, VPN, and have Cloud space for storage and all Cloud functions, you can subscribe to the AGILE package.

Packages – AGILE - THE DSBrowser™ package

With the AGILE package you can take advantage of every DSBrowser™ function:

- You can activate the Double Level Authentication on every USB device for your DSBrowser™ connections.

- If you are operating at home, you can activate automatic opening if and when you wish without having to type in your username and password for each connection, as our servers check a physical code of the computer you have chosen to use under Double Level Authentication.

- Anonymous and Invisible browsing in the encrypted DSBrowser™ tunnel, with unlimited bandwidth, which includes IP address and browser masking, blocking of advertising, secure erase of your data and, last but not least, VPN. You can download, stream videos, buy online and exchange emails in total security.

- The Intelligent Cloud with all its functions of storage and secure sharing with other users. DSBrowser™ offers you 1.0 Go of intelligent Cloud space for life with each month you subscribe to the service.

This is, of course, only relevant if the original operating system is virus free and has its security certificates. Check that your computer operating system is compatible.

Antivirus: Certain antivirus softwares could block the use of DSBrowser™. We advise you to verify the configuration of your antivirus and authorise the launching of DSBrowser™.

Firewall: Certain Firewalls could block access to DSBrowser™. In this instance, you will not have the authorisation to access your secure Cloud. Refer to your network administrator or change the parameters of your Firewall in order to allow access to the DSBrowser™ port communication.

For more details, don’t hesitate to contact our support line support@dsbrowser.com.

Install and activate DSBrowser™ - Different DSBrowsers™ on the same computer, it’s possible!

DSBrowser™ twice icon

With one single DSBrowser™ license, several USB devices on which DSBrowser™ is already installed can, from different computers, gain access, one after the other to the Cloud of that license with the username and password of that license. And so, for example, with one license, each member of the family can have their own DSBrowser USB key and have access one after the other, from different computers to the family Cloud.

This also means:

- It is not possible to surf on the web with several USB devices which are under the same license.

- Two DSBrowser™ activated under the same license cannot have access simultaneously to the same Cloud.
- Only one session at a time is possible with a unique license number.

Click on the icon and a tab will appear showing:

- The name of the browser as it appears to the site you are visiting. If you have not activated the masking option, the sites will identify you as DSBrowser™. If you have activated the masking option, the sites will identify you under the appearance you have chosen to use instead (There will be no browser identification if you have selected the “Invisible” option).

- The IP address as it appears to the site you are visiting. If you have activated the “Anonymous and Invisible” options, your real IP address will be hidden from any of the sites you visit, showing only the IP address provided to them by DSBrowser™'s Proxy.

Using DSBrowser™ - Surf tab – Browsing history

In each Surf tab, if you click on the icon , situated on the right of the address bar, the History tab will open automatically. There, you will find all the websites you have visited for the period of time you have previously specified.

The website you wish to visit does not respond and it is temporarily inaccessible. DSBrowser™ offers several browser options, which can be programmed in the Dashboard. Don’t hesitate to try them. If the problem persists, send us details at support@dsbrowser.com

Using DSBrowser™ - Surf tab – Browse clever - The website you want to visit is accessible but only a white or incomplete page appears on your screen

Some websites don’t accept the masking of browsers and will not display their content (ex. Canal +).

For a site that you know well you could deactivate the option “Hiding browser”. If you still don’t have access to the site, activate “Hiding browser” and choose the name of another browser in the dropdown menu “Mask as”.

Difficult access to certain sites could also arise from advertising blocking, which prove to be too restrictive. It might be better to deactivate the option “Ad blocking”.

In any event, if a website does not display correctly or does not allow you access to its content, you are better off changing the combination of browser options until you find the one that allows you access to the site you are visiting. To activate/deactivate the IP masking, browser masking and advertising blocking options, go to the “My Navigation” box in the Dashboard tab.

You can open the “History” tab, recognisable by the orange outline, from the “Dashboard” tab, “My Navigation”, or by clicking on the icon situé à la droite de la barre d’adresse dans chaque onglet de Surf. situated on the right of the address bar in each Surf tab.
